Her Majesty Queen Margrethe II talks about the painting The Royal Table of Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor, 1741, by Johann Salomon Wahl, which belongs to the Queen's private collection. The painting has been on the walls of the royal quarters at Fredensborg Palace since 1872 but it was in very poor condition. The New Carlsberg Foundation has, as a birthday present to the Queen, paid for the restoration at The National Gallery of Art.
